And just like that, it’s over! Today was our last day of camp. Summer 2019 is complete!
Mary made Xander a very special book (he loved it, I cried. It was THE cutest, sweetest thing!). Xander gave Mary some Star Wars pins. She lives in Pennsylvania, and I am SO bummed it’s so far away, because she would DEFINITELY be invited to his birthday party if she was here.

The day was basically the same as every Friday- late breakfast, closing chapel, meeting with the lead staff, lunch, parent program, staff meeting. It was a good day.

After the staff meeting, we got to work packing up camp. We pulled out the docks, brought the canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boats, paddles and lifejackets inside. We cleaned and packed up every building. We collected garbage, packed supplies, cleaned, organized, and moved everything. We worked for about 2 hours, stopped for dinner (where we handed out end of the year “thank you” shirts and memory books), and we were finished by about 8:30pm. I was so tired I felt like I was going to pass out. Staff will officially check out tomorrow morning and camp will OFFICIALLY be over for the summer. My trailer is still a MESS, so hopefully Nate can entertain the boys long enough for me to hurry up and pack everything so we can go home too. Post camp exhaustion will hit soon, so I have to get packed, moved home, and unpacked before my body realizes what is happening!
